Barry at Sharpe Hill Vineyard, June 2004
Here's a picture of Barry when we set out on a gorgeous day to take in 4 of Connecticut's 13 wineries. There was nary a cloud in the sky, the temperature was perfect for an outing in the convertible, and we started with Sharpe Hill Vineyards right near our house in Pomfret CT. For $5, we got to sit in the outdoor courtyard, trying each of their fabulous wines (there were 6 in our tasting - one label had already sold out), and we got to keep our wine glass, embossed with the winery's logo. In addition, you can help yourself to walking through the vineyards while sipping a glass of their wine - I highly recommend this because at the top of the hill there is a breathtaking view of eastern Connecticut.
We also visited Heritage Vineyards in Lisbon, Jonathan Edwards in North Stonington and Stonington Vineyards in...gasp...Stonington. All in all, we really enjoyed Sharpe Hill the best (bought a case there!) and are seriously considering having our wedding there next year. Their restaurant is only open on the weekends by reservation, and boast wonderful wood-grilled meats. Can't wait to try that out!
